Raspberry Pi OpenVPN server
My motivation for writing this review is to demonstrate a method of securing access
to IOT devices with minimum effort. Many IOT devices like security cameras
have lackluster access controls and suffer from lack of software updates.
Generally it’s bad practice to expose such insecure devices directly to the internet
where they’re easy prey for botnets and miscreants.
This guide will show you how to set up a bulletproof VPN server on a Raspberry Pi allowing
you to securely access your home or business network.
Blocking direct IP access with Nginx
Reduce server load by dropping connections made by IP scanners.

Chromebook Buying Guide 2016

a survey of Chromebook reviews sourced from Youtube and various tech publications.
Scrolltraps often take the form of interactive maps, but they also masquerade
as embedded documents or code snippets. This mistake manifests itself most often on responsive websites
waiting to ensnare fingers and cursors alike. Stated simply, scrolltraps occur
any time a large scrolling element (which scrolls parallel to the page) is placed inside a webpage.
Nested scrolling views are a bad design practice which lead to a crappy user experience.

Brand New Blog
It’s been forever and a half since I’ve written anything substantial on
coffeestrike.com. Building a personal website is a long overdue project,
and I figured I might as well migrate my blog here as well.
